Easy Magic Trick Revealed

To setup this trick, you will need a deck of cards and it is necessary to remember the tenth card from the top. Let us say it is the 5 of clubs.

Turn the pack face up and count through to the tenth card, which you should remember. (5 of clubs).

You are now ready to perform this trick.

Ask your spectator to pick a number between 10 and 20 (they will need to pick a number between 11 and 19 for the trick to work).

You should then deal down that number of cards (let us say 16 for this example).

Once you have dealt out the correct number of cards put the remaining cards to one side and pick up the smaller deck of cards.

You then tell the spectator that you need to randomise the number again so you add the first digit and the second digit of their number together. For example, if the number was 16, you add 1 and 6 together to make 7.

Now deal down to the seventh card and let the spectator pick up that card.

Tell them to memorise it and put it back into the deck so that you can see it.

You know what their card is already, but give the impression you are reading their mind and tell them it is a black card, it is a low number, it is a club, it is the 5 of clubs.

Now take your applause and walk away knowing they will be wondering how you achieved that.
